Addressing Persistent Inequities in Education Through Cultural Historical Research

Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin 3

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session aims at elucidating how Cultural Historical Research promotes equity and how it addresses the persistent inequities present in educational systems all over the globe. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach, the session incorporates work representing various disciplines and includes the participation of scholars at various stages in their career. The authors of the five paper contributions collaborate to take into consideration the usefulness of using theories rooted primarily in the legacy of Vygotsky and Luria, alongside other Cultural Historical scholars from more recent generations. This compilation of scholarly contributions holds the potential to create new theoretical understandings and conceptualizations to identify areas of need, and move equity work based on Cultural Historical research forward.
